Re: [snmpsim-users] Multiple variation modules for a single OID?

[Ilya E. <il...@gl...>]

Hi Andrew,

That's right, multiple variation modules for a single OID are not 
currently implemented. The reason is that the logic of modules 
configuration and chaining their invocation looks overly complex to use. 
Your suggestion on a super-set variation module may be a good way of 
isolating these complexities from the base case of a single module per OID.

But what's your use case? What kind of variation you need? Maybe it 
would be easier in the end to create another single variation module 
that does the logic you need... What do you think?
